[Towertalk] Rohn 25G Questions

Jim,
Don't know how bad the shipping will be but the best prices in the country
for Rohn are at R & L in Hamilton, OH.

Subject: [Towertalk] Rohn 25G Questions
I recently acquired a Rohn 25G Tower and I have a few questions for the list
members. BTW, It will be up approx. 60 ft. and I am in an 70mph county.
Why are the holes on the section legs 2 different sizes? One is 3/16' and
the other is 1/4". Can I drill out the 3/16" holes and make them 1/4" like
the rest or should I leave well enough alone?
I called an engineer at Rohn yesterday and he told me that he had no idea
why they did it that way. He said they were engineered in the 60's.
Rohn's guy wire recommendations on a 60 ft. tower are one at 28 ft. and one
at 45 ft., 48 ft. from the base. I only have about 39 ft. of space from the
base. Will this cause any problems?
Last but not least, where can I buy Rohn accessories for a 25G? Guy wire
brackets, etc.
I would appreciate any recommendations.
Thank You,
Jim Barnett N3TBN
